Edward lived in the city.
![Page 5: Peter Carnavas - National Tree Daytreeday.planetark.org/documents/doc-430-last-tree-in-the-city.pdf · Peter Carnavas. First published in Australia 2010 by New Frontier Publishing](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9007f67f8b9af27f8dbd0e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It was a place of concrete and cars, a world without colour.

But Edward knew a part of the city that wasn’t like the city at all.

At the end of his street, surrounded by old buildings, stood the last tree in the city.

Edward would forget the concrete and the cars.
He would forget the city altogether.

For a small moment every day, Edward knew nothing but the tree.

Then the day arrived ...
![Page 11: Peter Carnavas - National Tree Daytreeday.planetark.org/documents/doc-430-last-tree-in-the-city.pdf · Peter Carnavas. First published in Australia 2010 by New Frontier Publishing](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9007f67f8b9af27f8dbd0e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
when the tree was gone.
![Page 12: Peter Carnavas - National Tree Daytreeday.planetark.org/documents/doc-430-last-tree-in-the-city.pdf · Peter Carnavas. First published in Australia 2010 by New Frontier Publishing](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9007f67f8b9af27f8dbd0e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Without the tree, Edward’s days were empty. He had nowhere to go
but one day, he started pedalling anyway.
![Page 13: Peter Carnavas - National Tree Daytreeday.planetark.org/documents/doc-430-last-tree-in-the-city.pdf · Peter Carnavas.

At the end of his street, surrounded by old buildings, something warmed his heart.
A piece of the tree lay before him. There was colour in its leaves.
Edward tried to think of a place in the city to plant his tree.By the next morning, he knew just what to do.
